SOPA sucks. PIPA sucks. The proposed anti-piracy bills are terrible in pretty much every way. But they aren't laws yet, and there's plenty we can do to keep it that way. Here are six tools to help you fight SOPA online.

Something rare happened today in New York. Not breasts bared at an Apple Store. Not a subway train arriving on time. No—the city's nerds (myself included) took asses out of chairs to get angry about SOPA. Finally.

Lots of sites are protesting SOPA today by going dark. Turning your website black is cute, and even attention-grabbing. But the only way SOPA dies is if the Internet industry starts lobbying just as hard as the entertainment industry.

Senator Marco Rubio has had a change of conscience. The legislation abomination known as PIPA, birthed in part from Rubio's Floridian law-womb, just officially lost his support. Keep up the pressure, everyone.

The SOPA Blackout may be spreading across the internet today, which includes Wikipedia. But as Giz comrade Mark Wilson points out, there's one Wiki entry you can actually navigate to: the Stop Online Piracy Act page (DUH!).

Today, taking a break from hurling racist slurs and GIFs at one another, the internet is taking a symbolic stand against SOPA and PIPA—two awful laws that would ruin the web. Behold the blackout rebellion.
